One divorcée describes life at the bottom of the sexual food chain. This week: the problem with internet dating

Most days people give me advice because people see a single person and simply can’t resist, much like mothers who see pregnant women and invariably put their oar in. Just can’t help themselves: it is a form of social Tourette’s.

High on the list of advice I receive is “you should try internet dating”.

Everyone who dishes out this gem has a happy-ever-after cyber story, and yet online searching is on my list of things to avoid. I am not of a completely closed mind, but I want to give myself a little more time yet.
